Youth Man announce July UK tour

Hot on the heels of a coveted UK/EU support tour with LA soul-punks letlive., fast-rising Birmingham noise-punk trio Youth Man are pleased to announce a run of headline UK tour dates for July 2016.

The tour includes a London date on 9th July at The Roundhouse, where the band headline the Roundhouse Punk Weekender celebrating the 40th anniversary of the punk movement, appearing alongside False Heads, Birdsong, Molasses, The Antiseptics, BullyBones, Mystified, Drones and Screech Bats as they go head to head on the Dr. Martens Stage in the venue’s Main Space. In addition to the music, there will also be a punk record fair, ‘zine fair, food stalls and more.

Commenting on the news, the band say:

We cannot bloody wait to get this record out and we’re even more excited to get back on the road, back in your faces, playing some new jams at you whilst you gawp in awe and disbelief. The new records and shirts look sweet as hell too so come and hang at the merch table with us afterwards and say hi and buy our shit so we can eat.

The threesome recently revealed that their new EP Wax will be released on 1^st July 2016 on VENN Records, the independent label owned by visceral punks Gallows and home to releases from Heck, Marmozets, Milk Teeth, Moose Blood and more.

Fans can get a taster of the new EP – which was recorded completely live in one session – on frenetic and caustic new track “Fat Dead Elvis”. It’s a typically oppressive and raw cut from the band, dripping in overdriven scuzzy guitars and trashy cymbals that highlight their off-kilter approach to punk.

Released digitally and on limited edition 300 pressing 12″ on frosted clear wax, the record features artwork by drummer Marcus Perks – an original sculpture made of clay, candles, dentures and googly eyes.

The band also took a ton of polaroids during the recording process which will be exclusively available in a booklet that is only available with the vinyl copy of the EP – preorders are on sale now: http://hyperurl.co/YouthManBundle

Wax is released on 1^st July via Venn Records.
